3. Scrape into a medium bowl and mix in cilantro, onion, lemon zest and peas. Add breadcrumbs and then let sit for a few minutes so the mixture has a chance to moisten the breadcrumbs. The resulting mixture should be one that is moist enough to form into patties. If it’s too dry, simply add a couple of Tablespoons of water or egg, and if it’s too wet just add a few more breadcrumbs.

4. Divide mixture into 6 parts and form into six burgers. You can prepare the burgers ahead of time to this point (place on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate until ready to
cook).

5. Spray cooking spray (or add olive oil) in large skillet and heat to medium. Add 3 patties, cover and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are browned. Flip patties and cook for another 7 minutes on the other side. Top with cheese at the end of cooking, if you wish! Repeat with remaining three patties.

6. Toast buns and add favorite toppings.

Cooking Tips
*Buy whole-grain buns for the burgers and just use a couple of them to grind in the food processor for the crumbs that you’ll need. Thenspread them on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven until
browned.

• When the bean curd is softened, drain it, squeezing out the excess water, and cut into 4- to 6-inch lengths.

• In a large bowl, mix together the margarine, peanut butter, miso, nutritional yeast, and paprika to form a rich paste. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it to the desired consistency.

• Preheat the oven to 370 degrees F.

• Add the bean curd "ribs" to the paste and mix together, coating the "ribs" thoroughly.

• Place the "ribs" side by side on a large baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, turning them so that they bake evenly, until the bottoms are crisp and brown.

• Remove from the oven and using a barbecue brush, apply the barbecue sauce to the "ribs." Return the "ribs" to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more.

Mix the above together till smooth, then add oatmeal till the smooth mix can be formed in your hand for a patty.

Mix powder ingredients well. Add egg, then water slowly to mix ingredients to consistency of bread dow. Add additional soy or high glutin flour till it can be hand formed. Roll our pull away and make balls/sheets/patties. Fry or bake at about 325 degrees, these will rise like small biscuits. We like them with mushroom soup, sweet and sour sauce, sour cream, or rance dressing. A little weird but they can grow on you.
